I cannot take it anymore. I've dealt with it as much as possible, but truth must be put out in the open.

Please stop! Stop taking pictures of yourselves with your arms crossed, in an attempt to convey the message that you are serious and professional. This body posture is outdated and it doesn’t even convey the aforementioned.

But what it does convey is lack of originality and, according to the decoding of body language, a barrier towards the interlocutor/ viewer, and also a very clear ‘I’m not interested’.

 

Thus, please (pretty please) stop taking pictures of yourselves with arms crossed or stop advising people to take pictures in this posture. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why should you convey the message that you are boring, not at all innovative and unsure about the message you want the public to receive?!
